Bachelor of Engineering (Sustainable Systems Engineering) (Honours)

Sustainable systems engineering brings together the new technologies and innovative engineering approaches needed for sustainable global development.

In RMIT's Bachelor of Engineering (Sustainable Systems Engineering) (Honours), you'll learn how to protect, restore and create engineered and natural systems that are socially, environmentally and economically sustainable.

As part of this systems engineering degree you’ll undertake a broad range of studies, graduating with the skills to design engineering solutions that meet the needs of society within economic and ecological constraints.

Your studies will focus on developing a sustainable systems approach, combining the fundamentals of sustainable systems design, engineering design, engineering mathematics and engineering science. Degree specialisations exist in renewable energy systems, energy efficiency and demand management, transport and logistics, and supply chain analytics.

Climate change is a matter of global importance. Demand has arisen for engineers able to conceive and develop sustainable systems. The consumption of natural resources and energy in areas such as transport, buildings, manufacturing processes, are part of this need.

A sustainable systems engineer works with technologies and engineering approaches to ensure global development is sustainable, and to develop clean manufacturing processes and improvements in technology.

Graduates of RMIT's Bachelor of Engineering (Sustainable Systems Engineering) (Honours) will find careers in energy efficiency, renewable energy, sustainable transport systems and vehicles, logistics, product design, manufacturing, and infrastructure.
